Asian lottery is taking the world by storm with a variety of excellent games and jackpots. However, before you start playing, make sure you understand the rules and regulations. For example, some Asian lotteries require players to be at least eighteen years old. Also, the age requirement varies from country to country. However, you can still play these games online if you meet the requirements.

For example, the Hong Kong Mark Six lottery has been around since 1975. It’s so popular that each drawing sells more tickets than there are citizens in Hong Kong. The top prize for the game is a whopping 7 million Yuan ($1.4 billion). In order to win, you must match all seven numbers correctly. The chances of winning are about 14 million to one.

In fact, if no one wins the top prize, the jackpot will roll over. This happens about every three months and usually raises the prize to a minimum of 5 million Yuan. The winner of the jackpot must come forward for an official ceremony to claim their prize. The ceremony is usually held on public holidays. In addition, the winner must sign a privacy agreement to protect their family and relatives.

China’s Communist-Party run state lotteries may sound drab, but they are a massive business. Last year the Sports and Welfare Lotteries raked in over $511 billion in ticket sales. That’s nearly as much as America’s state lotteries made combined. And that’s despite having a population of almost 1.4 billion people!
